North Texas has no idea how to steer in ICE! btw-It dropped from 76 F down to 36 F in less than 6 hours in Plano... A total drop of over 50 degrees is forecast by 6 PM today!
here in carrollton it was 76 at 6pm and it was 39 at 10pm its 35 and dropping right now.... i don't really think the rain is helping. i'm glad i'm going to slightly warmer weather in houston this weekend.
What time is this supposed to hit down here in Houston? All I know is, looking up at the sky just now was like watching a movie in fast forward. The clouds in the night sky were flying past.
Amazing hardly any school districts are closed up here, but all colleges seem to be... The weather people are almost surprised that they're not being heeded on TV. It's snowing in Ft. Worth and moving into Dallas... We've already reached our high today of 34 (32 now)... the rain is turning to sleet... and they say school is on? This is Texas, people. I don't want some minivan hittin' my Truck!
LOL. 72 and rain in H-Town. EDIT: 7:06 snowing in North Dallas at the high five now... stupid schools, I want to sleep.
it's on its way. supposed to be 35 degrees by rush hour. it was 34 in Brenham this morning. it's already 54 on the west side of town..temperature dropped very quickly.
not here in houston. it's not a hard freeze. only going down to 32 in houston. but it's not warming up much over the next 4 days or so.
Well, my pipes are already wrapped up from last year, but with the cost of a plumber these days, I don't take any chances when it comes to my pipes...
i can only tell you what the forecasters are saying: http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=77002 looks like tonight it will be in the low 30's...and it's not getting out of the 50's through the weekend.
Hey Preston, Are you in Lubbock for Texas Tech? Driving to work this morning at 6am (82nd & Quaker) was a b****. Luckilly we didn't have too many kids calling up the radio station wanting to know if their school was closed. We went out in the parking lot and made some snowballs. Too bad there wasn't enough time to try to make a snowman. --------------- Lubbock can get bad with the snow and ice, but Amarillo is always 10 times worse. They can really get slammed up there.
Basically 43rd and Canton. What station do you work at? Not here for Tech, I plan to start at South Plains next semester.
KFYO 790AM. The Clear Channel group. We heard there were a lot of college students today that said "F- It" and decided not to go to class.
